ZHRINE are part of an extreme musical phenomenon rising from the Kópavogur area of Iceland’s capital Reykjavik. Although the name is new, the band is not. Starting out under the GONE POSTAL moniker in 2007, they embraced a dark death metal approach at first. Easily winning the 2012 Wacken Metal Battle at home, the Icelanders scored very high at the famous festival itself in front of an international jury.
The band is releasing its new album “Unortheta” on April 8th via Season Of Mist. Below you can hear the track “Utopian Warfare” which is premiering in Greece exclusively via Metalpaths.com
Commenting on “Utopian Warfare” the band says: “Seductive strings lull the listener into a psychedelic mire of notes both lavish, lush, and alien, before the blitzkrieg of ‘Utopian Warfare’ erupts like a maelstrom of crushing death painted in layers of black, blue and blood- thus setting the tone for the aural beat-down to come.”
